2008 ASA Sambo Training Camps

The Midwest Vice President of the ASA, Gregg Humphreys is once again doing us all a great service by arranging for two not to be missed training camps with World Sambo Champion Igor Kurrinoy.

Igor is a 3x Sambo World Champion, 5x Sambo World Cup Champion, International Sumo and Judo Champion. He is the head coach of Borec in Moscow, creator of the best selling "Sambo for Professionals" Instructional series, and was most recently featured on the History Channel's Human Weapon.

This year, Igor will be holding training camps in Iowa and California.

Adnvanced Notice:
The ASA will hold a 3 day live-in training camp in Seattle or Oregon (location being finalized as we speak) on September 12-14, 2008. Coaches in residence will be Gregg Humphreys, Aaron Fields, Dayn DeRose, and Stephen Koepfer.
This camp will provide room and board as well as 3 training session per day. To get on the mailing list for this camp, please contact Stephen Koepfer at americansamboassociation@att.net

But seriously, let's say I have a year of Judo/MMA training, but no Sambo whatsoever. What basics am I going to be missing and how much is that going to hamper my experience of the camp? Is this an all levels sort of thing or more focused on the advance student?

The camp is open to all levels of folks with sambo or no sambo experience. It won't hamper your training at all. We will work with you at whatever level you are at. You can wear a gi top if you don't have a kurkta.
